    Nobody entered on the second late day, which means that the contest is now set. At 1400h I noticed an hourly report of 24 from Oak Park which gives a rough indication of where the contest value now sits. A more accurate reading will be posted later.

    Oak Park reached 24.4 °C.

    Others:

    Casement 22.9, Dublin Airport 22.1

    Meanwhile,

    Connaught airport 15.4

    Positions so far up to the 27th based on error in increments of 0.1c:

    The above chart does not take into account the penalty conditions that MTC has cruelly set down but for now, well done Harr!

    Will update chart again should even higher temperatures be recorded up to and including Sunday.

    PS, if there is anyone or anyone's guess missing off the chart just shout.

    Edit: 28th July 2011 Shortened some names so as to be able to include all other names which were getting squeezed out of the chart.

    Hopefully your names should be on it now :) had to stretch the chart by about 3 miles as names were getting scrunched out.

    You made it though! Highest temperature recorded yesterday was 21.5c at Casement; highest recorded today Sunday was 20.1c at Dublin.

    Well done Harr! :)

    Edit: no adjustment needed in the chart above.

    This will become "official" when we have the monthly summary, just in case they report a different value for the monthly maximum (and it occurs in the last week). Meanwhile, there was a "prize" but you may have to wait until some time in 2012 to collect it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,573 ✭✭✭✭M.T. Cranium


    These are the official standings then ...


    1 .. Harr
    2 .. Michael Walsh
    3 .. 141_Oscar_Mike, darwin
    5 .. Danno*
    6 .. Traecy1
    7 .. pappyodaniel
    8 .. The Inquisitor
    9 .. robxxx7*
    10 .. AntiRip*
    11 .. fits*
    12 .. patneve2
    13 .. kevin12345
    14 .. MiNdGaM3
    15 .. snubbleste
    16 .. dexter647
    17 .. nilhg*
    18 .. Deep Easterly*
    19 .. No1J*
    20 .. everyone else

    Congrats everyone on a top 20 finish.

    (entries marked * were dropped three ranks due to late entry ... which proved a bit erratic so the scores after #1 and 2 are just for fun estimates ... but #1 and 2 were definitely the class of the field, and Danno tied for second without the late penalty).
